Hi Jeffrey, I know you are very busy, and although I have no idea whether you received my first meeting
proposal, I'm sending a second version with far fewer people. I would like to bring the five senior people from
Georgia, Susan Chapman (Clemson Univ.), who works on chicken tails, and Hans Larsson from McGill, for a
total of 7 people to mix with our 4 here at MSU, for a two-day meeting, now preliminarily (from the Doodle
poll) scheduled for October 24-25.
The reason for bringing five people from Georgia is that this group is proposing to do a bioinformatics-based
approach using comparative gene expression profiling to identify likely targets and transgenic technologies to
modify their expression and/or function in chicken embryos. this is really big, and a very important component
for the success of this project.
Also, the post-docs I have working here at MSU have gotten the protocol to create transgenic quail, which we
hope will work for most experiments.
All the best,
Jack
The budget would then be:
BUDGET
In-country airfare (Athens or Greenville): $600 x 6 = $3,600
Out of country (Montreal): $800 x 1 = $800
Hotel: $125 x 6 x 3 nights = $2,250 (one sets of people will share)
Meals: $50 x 11 x 2 = $1,100 (two lunches and two dinners would be catered)
$50 x 7 x 2 = $700 (meals for participants during travel to and from)
Transportation: $200 (transportation to and from the hotel and museum)
TOTAL: $8,650
